Inverse Pityriasis Versicolor (PV).Clin Case Rep 2026 Apr; 14:e72574.CC
Abstract
Inverse pityriasis versicolor (PV) involving the groin and scrotum is an uncommon presentation of PV. Despite its uncommon location, PV should be suspected in patients with scaly and persistent hypo or hyperpigmented lesions, especially in regions with hot and humid environment. Early recognition allows effective antifungal therapy, preventing chronicity and recurrence.
